Total Uptime immediately understood our needs and implemented a solution that was exactly what Marcus Evans was looking for.
CIO
Marcus Evans needed to route traffic from its primary data center to a secondary site during outages or maintenance without updating DNS.
This applied to more than a dozen corporate websites and a multi-site Microsoft Exchange environment used by thousands of employees.
The company’s websites periodically experienced large DDoS attacks that could overwhelm servers or ISP connections.
Standard firewall appliances were not sufficient to provide the required level of mitigation.
With 59 locations worldwide, managing a full mesh of VPN connections had become increasingly difficult.
Changes at one office could require updates across multiple VPN appliances, making disaster recovery and business continuity more complex.
Total Uptime addressed all three challenges with a combination of Layer 7 cloud load balancing, automated failover, DDoS mitigation, and Multicloud Networking.
Layer 7 cloud load balancing and custom monitoring dynamically route traffic to the alternate site when primary servers become unavailable or overwhelmed.
When traffic thresholds are reached, automated mitigation challenges excess connections to distinguish legitimate users from malicious bot traffic.
Three virtual VPN appliances across the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific regions provide connectivity through a single anycast-based cloud Virtual IP.
Traffic can automatically move to an alternate site when primary servers become unavailable.
Automated Layer 7 mitigation helps protect websites from malicious traffic.
59 office connections were replaced with centralized cloud-based routing.
Cloud-based failover and global networking support disaster recovery across primary and secondary data centers.
Protect your applications with intelligent cloud load balancing, automated failover, and enterprise-grade security.
